My fellow workers bet on five card draw heads up, ten dollars a hand.

Do you get to see what your oponent has and is drawing. Also how is order decided, does it alternate every hand?

Sometimes they will show each other what they are keeping, and then they proceed to draw, other times only one will show (usually if one has a made hand of a straight or higher), and sometimes they don't show at all until all drawing is complete. To answer your sencond question, yes it goes in a back and forth order, one will deal, then the other. The dealer for the round deals his opponents cards fisrt.

I don't get it? Why would you teach them anything - just get in there and play with them. Even if you don't hit perfect strategy, it sounds like they play this game badly enough that with a little thought you could easily give yourself an edge. At $10/hand, I think you could make some pretty decent profit on your lunch hours.

I periodically play 7 card stud variations with some of my co-workers where they normally have a "few" wild cards. I still don't know if 7-of-a-kind beats a straight flush. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]
